Linux is pretty swell. I need to simulate a spotty wifi and there's a few tools out there for setting up hotspots and messing with their connection speed / reliability

@mauve @forgejo Still in foundational stages of implementation, see the road map https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md

MacOS: "wow you've put a lot of text in this text field on this web page, but I'm going to hide the scrollbars because they aren't aesthetically pleasing"
Me: "but I need to scroll back to the start of this long line I've put in this web form"
MacOS: "if you start horizontally scrolling, I'll make the scrollbars appear for you"
Me: slowly starts 2 finger scrolling to the right to get back to the start of the line
Safari: "Trackpad gesture for 'back' detected, say goodbye to your data while I load the previous page"
So what's the deal with @forgejo ? Is it actually federating between instances? It's not obvious from the docs whether it is or what's left before it does.

In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:
Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?
I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?
Boosts and ideas welcome!
If anyone is interested in talking more about this or participating, even if you’re not a core maintainer for a project, I’ve created Discord and Matrix places we can start chatting in: https://discord.gg/fcSeuv56qp and https://matrix.to/#/%23nohub:matrix.org
Recommendation systems are so funny. I looked up how to do fourier transforms like 5 months ago and it keeps trying to feed me more. It's like Noh Face from spirited away trying to offer bits of gold.
In this case Ubuntu 22.04 and Python 3.11 seems to be doing the trick. 🤪
Fuck I really love that the reader mode works more consistently in Agregore now 💜
The hardest problem in computer science is figuring out what the correct version of Ubuntu and Python should be for any given project to compile. 🤪

Great post about the downsides of relying on #ai code generation.

> The experience of using an LLM to solve a problem is very similar to using voice-control like Alexa or Siri. You ask it to do something, and when it does the wrong thing, you're left explaining yourself in greater and greater detail until you might as well have solved the problem yourself.

@Miaourt Oh snap. Ty for the link. Might give it a shot next week. Would you like me to report back if I had success? :o
@nasser https://github.com/RangerMauve/hyper-sdk-examples/blob/default/05-oplog-chat.js Source code. We passed around a little usb webcam to scan the qr code and enter the url into a cli 😝
@nasser A few dozen lines of hyper-sdk. Hypercore for appending messages and discovering peers.
